The double Olympic equestrian gold medallist Mark Todd says his decision to return to the sport fulltime and compete at the London Olympics means he will have to move back to England.

Todd says he was surprised at how much he enjoyed competing at the Olympics in Hong Kong after retiring from the sport after the Sydney Games eight years ago.

Having finished 18th in the individual competition and fifth in the teams he says there's a sense of unfinished business as he says his horse Gandalf still has plenty of improvement in him.
